Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

quickly,

A series of footprints appeared on the snow, and a series of figures appeared in the wind and snow.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others came slowly.

"Your Majesty, please see your Majesty!"

Everyone gave up.

Li Shimin glanced at them and patted the ground beside him: "Sit."

Li Junxian immediately brought a few more wool blankets and placed them on the ground. Everyone sat on the ground like Li Shimin.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin took another sip of wine and asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, please send this letter to the people of Hebei Province."

"But the result..."

Fang Xuanling's voice was bitter and full of hesitation.

"Say!" Li Shimin stared at him.

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have been writing to the people of Hebei Province for several days, but not many people have come back..."

Fang Xuanling used one word: not much.

After all, he didn't tell Li Shimin, almost not at all.

"There are some soldiers from Hebei Province who have returned, almost two to three thousand."

"In addition, he is a descendant of a noble family."

Fang Xuanling said softly.

"Hehehe..."

When Li Shimin heard this, he was not angry at all. He asked Li Junxian to bring a few more wine bowls, set them for several people, and then filled them with wine.

"I didn't expect that the people who protected me in the Tang Dynasty in the end were actually the children of the noble families. It seems that I really misjudged them before."

"I thought that all the noble families were the worms of the country, but the results turned out to be worlds apart."

"If the people don't come back, they are willing to become the people of Great Yan. Only the children of the noble families will have their hearts tied to the Tang Dynasty after all."

Li Shimin said and took another sip of wine.

"Is there anything else? The army is ready?"

Li Shimin's voice was gloomy and he looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, food and grass have now begun to be transported to the front of Hebei Road. The soldiers are practicing day and night. As long as the time comes, they can attack at any time!"

"That's good!" Li Shimin nodded vigorously and exhaled heavily: "After the winter, all the soldiers from various places will be mobilized."

"This time, I will take you and charge again."

"Da Yan! I don't believe it, there really is nothing you can do against them!"

Li Shimin's eyes were fierce and he shouted through gritted teeth.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, no matter what!"

"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, no matter what!"

"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, no matter what!"

"...."

Everyone around them shouted in unison.

"call…."

Li Shimin took a long breath and nodded: "I have no doubt in your hearts."

"Is there any change over there on Hebei Road?"

"What has Dayan been doing during this period of time? The people there are so intoxicated that they can't even think about Shu."

Li Shimin asked again.

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies, in addition to organizing manpower to reclaim wasteland, the Imperial Court of Dayan also distributed various seeds, and there were two types of seeds that had never been heard of before, called corn and cotton. In addition, the potatoes previously grown in Dayan The seeds have also arrived, and a large number of Dayan No. 1 seeds have been distributed. By the beginning of next spring, people in Hebei Province will be able to plant these crops. "

"In addition, Hebei Province has begun organizing next year's imperial examination selection examination."

"Other than that, they haven't done much. They seem to be waiting for next spring. After all, winter is... not conducive to starting something."

Reported by Fang Xuanling.

Li Shimin let out a breath.

"That's it, okay, I understand."

He was a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly, the Great Yan court was so vigorous and resolute, and everything mentioned in Emperor Dayan's edict seemed to have begun to be implemented in Hebei Province.

Great!

He is really awesome!
Li Shimin picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing met each other at first sight, and they all looked at Li Shimin slightly and wildly.

"If you have anything to do, just say it directly."

Li Shimin didn't even look at them, his eyes were still fixed on the heavy snow outside.

Fang Xuanling pursed her lips.

"Your Majesty, we, we have been discussing this for a long time."

"The war with Dayan next year will definitely be extremely fierce, and our relationship with Dayan will also completely deteriorate, but... But Chang'an is too close to Dayan after all."

"I want to ask the imperial court to leave Chang'an before the war, and to ask all the officials, as well as the Supreme Emperor and the others, to leave here."

"Whether it's moving the capital or leaving Chang'an temporarily, in short, we can't stay in Chang'an anymore."

"Otherwise, Your Majesty, we are fighting at the front. If Chang'an is despicably attacked by Dayan behind us, it will have a huge impact on the morale at the front."

"Dayan sent troops from Pu County and arrived in Chang'an in less than a breath. Your Majesty, we have to consider this."

Fang Xuanling said softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. When the time comes, the Emperor, the Queen, and everyone in the palace will not be able to stay in Chang'an any longer, Your Majesty."

"After all, if something changes in Chang'an, Your Majesty, then the morale of the army ahead will be extremely unstable."

"This will cause huge losses and consumption to Your Majesty and our war in the Tang Dynasty."

Changsun Wuji agreed.

"Your Majesty, we have considered many plans on this point, but whether it is to go to Yangzhou, Jingzhou, or even temporarily move to Xuzhou, the local government can discuss it. Leaving Chang'an is a must!"

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and said again.

Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong clenched their fists, their eyes filled with unwillingness.

Can,
Faced with this situation now, they have no choice.

They are generals.

Their duty is to protect their country.

Their fate is to be shrouded in horse leather.

But now, they felt powerless, deeply powerless. Not only could they not help Datang out of its predicament, they were even...even forced to move the capital.

hiss!
Such a thing is extremely embarrassing no matter what dynasty it was in!

Forced to move the capital!

These four words are usually accompanied by the king of subjugation!
Your Majesty will now embark on this path.

They are upset, they are angry, they explode.

but….
No matter how unwilling they are, they are completely afraid to speak now.

What else can be said?
Said something like: "Don't worry Your Majesty, we will definitely welcome the imperial court back to Chang'an again after a while!"

Say something like: "Your Majesty, these are all temporary. In the future, the army will definitely be able to defeat thousands of miles and protect the Tang Dynasty?"

joke! They can't say these comforting words now.

Li Shimin shook the wine bowl in his hand.

Then, the arm moved.

I want to put it on my lips.

But in the end, he did not drink this sip of wine.

Snapped!
The wine bowl was placed on the ground with a muffled sound.

Some of the wine was spilled.

Li Shimin closed his eyes.

He bit his chapped lips, blood filling them.

"I, I..."

"Since I started from the Xuanwu Sect, I never thought that I would have such a day... Ha!"

"Forced to move the capital! In just three years, Chang'an will not be able to be saved."

"I...Hey, I really don't know what I did wrong. I really can't think of it!"

"Throughout the past dynasties, I have always felt that I would become a good emperor, but... what have I done in the past three years?"

"Nothing has been accomplished, and now it will become the biggest joke in the world."

"Once the capital is moved, how much energy will I really have left in the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin took another deep breath, and slowly opened his eyes. His face was full of pain, and his blood-red eyes were filled with sadness.

He glanced at everyone.

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, he laughed.

"Do you know what I have been thinking about these past few days?"

"I didn't think about Dayan, Emperor Dayan, or the political affairs of the court. There was only that sentence in my mind, that sentence from the former King of Chu."

"If there is no marriage, no indemnity, no land ceding, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die in the country."

"This is what King Chu often told me in the past. You must have heard it too."

"At that time, I sneered. I thought that as long as it was for the greatest benefit or benefit, what couldn't be done? I thought that this was what an emperor should consider. At the beginning, I thought that this was the pattern of an emperor, and he could get it. I can let it go.”

"But, now that I think about it, that doesn't seem to be the case."

"Now, I understand somewhat what King Chu said."

"I am the emperor, I am not a businessman, and I... am not a tycoon, I am the emperor."

“I thought I was very smart, and I thought I had paid the smallest price in exchange for huge benefits. I was very happy at first, but at that time, I forgot that the backbone of a country and the soul of a nation were just like this. Calculating and scheming, circling and circling, until nothing is left!"

"Up to now, the Tang Dynasty has lost that indomitable courage, and the Tang Dynasty has also lost that kind of passionate soul! When encountering something, you don't want to rush directly, but think about it first. Thinking of tricks.”

"I, it seems... I seem to be wrong? What do you think?"

Li Shimin turned to look at everyone, his voice extremely calm.

But these words,
One by one, they all pierced into the hearts of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Shimin.

They were all stunned for a moment.

They never expected that His Majesty would say this.

No marriage, no indemnity, no land cession, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die!
They thought silently in their hearts, and their whole bodies felt cold.

This sentence,
None of them was unclear.

This sentence,
Even if you ask the people in Chang'an, even the peddlers and soldiers who have never read books will know it.

This sentence is so famous!

but….
This sentence, since King Chu was sent to the Turks, has been the most silent sentence in Chang'an.

No one dared to take the initiative to mention it, and no one dared to shout this sentence, because this sentence was completely different from Datang's behavior from beginning to end.

In the court, no one dared to mention this sentence.

Everyone knows how much Li Shimin hates this sentence.

but,

It is undeniable.

They all remember this sentence, and even think about it silently in their hearts, but it can only be thought about once.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others looked at Li Shimin blankly.

Breathing, a little rapid.

Throat, a little itchy.

Scalp, a little numb.

His Majesty….
hiss!
Your Majesty actually admitted your mistake? !
They thought they heard wrong.

Your Majesty, how could you admit your mistake?

Li Shimin also looked at them.

In the main hall, there was silence.

In the end, it was Li Shimin who spoke.

He knew that no one else could answer this.

after all,

I remember that I was the one who sent King Chu away at the beginning.

He caused all this.

"I've been thinking about this sentence a lot these days, even when I'm sleeping."

"I...seem to be really wrong."

"Our Tang Dynasty, under my leadership, has conducted various actions that run counter to these words, and in the end, it created this situation."

"Of course, the current situation is not entirely because what I did does not conform to this sentence, but at least it is related."

"I have been thinking about it for a while, and I feel more and more that I am not the emperor!"

"I have brought Qin Emperor and Han Wu into my life. I am thinking, what would Qin Shihuang do if he faced the Turkic army?"

"The First Emperor will probably lead the soldiers in the city directly, and he will definitely lead the people in the city to fight to the death! This is for sure, I am extremely sure now."

"Even the old man Han Wu must be like this."

"And not to mention, at the beginning, Datang's soldiers were clearly superior in number, but they were not in Chang'an for the time being. Xuanling, the pharmacist, you also advised me, saying that as long as we hold on for a few days, when the reinforcements arrive, the Turkic army will definitely collapse. Coupled with the King of Chu’s army, we can definitely defend it.”

"But, I actually didn't do this because of fear in my heart. Instead, I chose... to negotiate a peace that I felt was more convenient and advantageous."

"And I'm a little lucky that I finally got rid of the trouble King Chu, so that no one can compete with Cheng Qian for the throne."

"It's ridiculous! Over the past dynasties, for thousands of years, in this land, the most powerful dynasty, the most powerful nation, and the most important integrity have been destroyed by me with my own hands!"

"I, I didn't insist on our integrity, I... I directly sold our integrity of the Tang Dynasty! Just to make the Turks retreat quickly, just for my own selfish desires, just... it was so simple to sell it "

"Hahaha!

"It's a joke, it's really a joke! Now that I think about it, I feel regretful. It's a pity that time will not pass by. I...I was wrong!"

"No reconciliation, no compensation, no land cession, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die in the country!"

"This sentence may seem simple, it may seem impossible, and it may seem that it does not consider any reality. But, if I think about it now, isn't this sentence created by our ancestors who lived in this land and passed down to this day? Is civilization a soul that is slowly refined and refined bit by bit?”

"This sentence represents the soul of a country and the bones of a nation. Only in this way can we show the integrity of the Tang Dynasty. Even if I couldn't do this at the beginning, it should be my lifelong pursuit, rather than treating it as nonsense.”

As Li Shimin spoke, he bowed down, his breathing became much heavier, and his energy seemed to have been drained away.
